The Renaissance Society, Chicago
Uterus. New work and ongoing project
Uterus. An exhibition by Vietnam-born, Berlin-based artist Danh Vo, opening on September 23rd. When Vo was four, his family fled South Vietnam in a homemade boat, and was rescued at sea by a Danish ship. His family's assimilation to European culture and the world historical events that precipitated their flight from Vietnam are intertwined in his artistic practice, which juxtaposes historical and personal artifacts. The Renaissance Society will present previously exhibited and new work by Vo, in addition to collaborating with the Art Institute to bring Vo's ongoing project "We The People" to Chicago and the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park. Fragments will be installed at the Oriental Institute, the Booth School of Business and University of Chicago Law School.
